Malummí

In the artist's words:

Malummí: Grunge-folk that gets under your skin

The Basel-based trio Malummí makes music that is both wild and vulnerable—immersive soundscapes blending indie folk, alternative rock, and raw emotions reminiscent of Big Thief and PJ Harvey.

This is what Malummí sounds like: haunting, atmospheric, socially critical

Led by Larissa Rapold’s unmistakable voice, backed by Giovanni Vicari’s guitar and Lucas Zibulski’s drums, Malummí creates a sound that hovers between grunge-infused rock and warm indie-folk. Their lyrics go deep—they challenge power structures, explore the complexity of relationships, and stand up against patriarchal norms. This is music that stays with you.

From “Blood” to “Damaged By Their Silence”: Their Discography to Date

In 2021, they debuted with “Blood”—an intimate exploration of raw emotions. In November 2023, “The Universe Is Black” (Irascible Records) followed, a bold foray into grunge-influenced alternative rock. The album was named “Album of the Week” by SRF3, featured on KExP’s “Sound & Vision” podcast, and honored as “Album of the Year” by IndieSuisse. Their third album, “Damaged By Their Silence,” is set to be released in March 2026.
